Where else would you want to be in February?”While Allison Gardner, Glasgow Film Festival Co-Director, said: “I’m really delighted with this year’s programme. We’ve got some exceptional premieres in our Gala strand, a great and thoroughly original line up of documentaries in Stranger than Fiction, and a really charming, child-friendly Modern Families programme headlined by the UK premiere of Disney’s Zootropolis. The festival keeps moving forward, with new developments like our Industry Focus conference, whilst also maintaining our roots as an audience-focused festival where everyone can come together to share a love of cinema. And we’ve been around for a few years now, so look out for some extra-special movie anniversaries in the programme.”These films will be used to judge the Audience Award at the 2016 event lovelies, as the programming team have selected great films for great fans to vote on lovelies, as they explore all sides of the industry with their audience-focused festival.
